"He can do that now," returned her husband. "He has made a good many trips since I have been with him, and things have gone on very much in the same way as when he is here. He knows that." "But still you'd like to be a partner?" "Oh, yes," said Mr. Canterfield. "And common gratitude ought to prompt him to make you one," said his wife. Mr. Tolman went home and wrote a will.
Tolman returned to the establishment of Pusey & Co., he found everything going on very satisfactorily. "You look ten years younger, sir," said Mr. Canterfield.

Canterfield was just going down to dinner as his employer rang the bell, so he opened the door himself. "I will detain you but a minute or two," said Mr. Tolman, handing the keys to Mr. Canterfield.
